"Ah......?"

Xia Yuan stared blankly at the familiar ceiling above, and his mind went blank.

"I ...... Why is ......it here" Xia Yuan reluctantly sat on the bed, although there was nothing uncomfortable, but he always felt that something was wrong......

"I ...... Aren't you going to the cafeteria......" Xia Yuan was stunned, he should be going to the cafeteria...... How did it end up here?

"Assessment ......"

Xia Yuan subconsciously raised his head and looked at the clock hanging on the wall, it was already afternoon, and the assessment was already over.

"Wow! You're finally awake! Qiu Yi walked out of the bathroom, saw Xia Yuan sitting on the bed, and hurriedly ran to the bed, his face full of concern.

"Really, just after we separated, I heard someone say that you fainted at the door of the dormitory, what's the matter with you? Are you sick? Do you want to check with a teacher? You don't want to hide it from us alone! Although his face was full of concern, his words were like a question.

“…… I'm sorry. Xia Yuan lowered his head, and a trace of obvious guilt appeared on his face.

"What, I'm sorry?" Qiu Yi was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted, "Are you thinking about the assessment?" That's no problem at all, the teacher came to inform us before, and our two opponents today surrendered yesterday, so today we also won all. ”

"Surrendered yesterday?" Xia Yuan looked at Qiu Yi, yesterday was the first day of assessment, it should be that yesterday's performance scared today's opponent......

After all, most of the opponents after them were level 20 people.

"Yes, it's not because you played so terrifying yesterday, looking at this way, at this stage, we may not be able to play without the assessment" Qiu Yi sighed, if it goes on like this, the three of them may be able to wait directly for ......the final......

"So what's the matter with me?" Xia Yuan frowned and looked at his body, although he didn't wear any clothes, he actually had a lot of bandages wrapped on it.

Xia Yuan didn't remember that he had been injured.

"You don't know your own body?" Qiu Yi glanced at Xia Yuan, "You can tear a corner and take a look." ”

"It's all under the strap." Qiu Yi looked at Xia Yuan with strange eyes, and that look seemed to be looking at a monster.

"Hey, hey, your eyes make me very uneasy......" Xia Yuan didn't care too much, and directly stretched out his hand to tear the corner of the bandage, and then, Xia Yuan's eyes fluctuated slightly.

"This ...... Could it be ......?"

Xia Yuan looked closely at a red mark under the bandage, and in order to verify his thoughts, Xia Yuan tore off a large piece of bandage on his body again.

"It's ......"

Under the bandage, there was a large area of completely irregular crimson marks, not very dense, but it gave people a very strange feeling.

"Does Xia Yuan know what this is?" Qiu Yi saw Xia Yuan's expression and asked.

"Sort of......

Xia Yuan nodded a little happily, stretched out his right hand, and the red red rose spear appeared in his hand, "Look, isn't it very similar?" ”

"Like?" Qiu Yi didn't react, but after glancing at the red mark on the Red Rose Spear and the red mark on Xia Yuan's body, Qiu Yi understood, "It's the same, huh?" ”

"That's right." Xia Yuan nodded, "Maybe the previous battle made my martial soul change, right?" ”

"Hey...... Ah......" Akira made a strange sound, and a strange color flashed in her eyes.

"......" Xia Yuan sensed that something was wrong with Qiu Yi and didn't speak.

"Are we good friends?" Qiu Yi looked at Xia Yuan and suddenly asked.

“…… Be. Xia Yuan's tone was a little low.

"Then you should tell me the real reason." Qiu Yi smiled slightly, different from the previous hand, the current Qiu Yi's hand looks a little slender.

That's right, Xia Yuan is lying.

However, Qiu Yi is very smart, and he knows that Xia Yuan is lying.

Martial soul changes? The change of the martial soul will make people unconscious, which is understandable, but anyone with a discerning eye in the previous battle can see that Xia Yuan did not use all his strength, okay? Without fighting with all his might, how could it be possible to cause the martial soul to change?

“…… It may be an accident......" Xia Yuan lowered his head slightly, his eyes did not dare to look at Qiu Yi.

"It's really ......" Qiu Yi pouted, "Xia Yuan, you have always been like this when you deceive people, and you don't dare to look at each other when you lie." ”

"......" Xia Yuan didn't know what to say.

"We're good friends, you said it yourself, if you don't tell me this time, I'll really be angry, right?"

Angry...... For more than three months, Xia Yuan really hadn't seen Qiu Yi angry.

Even if she was scolded by others as a "sissy", Qiu Yi just laughed it off.

Although Qiu Yi didn't look at that person again.

"......" Xia Yuan raised his head and looked at Qiu Yi, "Are you sure you want to listen?" ”

"That's right." Qiu Yi answered directly without any hesitation.

"Okay." Xia Yuan pointed to the crimson mark on his body, "This is a curse...... It can also be said to be a salvation. ”

"......" Qiuyi is listening carefully.

"When I awakened the martial soul at the age of six, something abnormal happened, and since the awakening of the martial soul, I didn't feel anything during that time, and to put it bluntly, I still didn't have a trace of emotion, even if it was ...... Kill your own parents with your own hands. ”

Xia Yuan's eyes were a little dim, but Xia Yuan didn't have any other abnormalities.

"From that time, I knew that I was broken." Xia Yuan looked at his hands, "These hands, I don't know how many people I killed, I only know that it was the master who saved me......"

……

"That's what it is...... Cursed......"

In the ruins, a young man lowered his head slightly and looked at the young man in front of him with his head down and his hands and feet in the ruins, his eyes were extremely complicated, he knew who the young man in front of him was, and he also knew whose "masterpiece" this ruin was.

The young man stretched out his hand and pulled away the young man's hands holding his feet, and what he saw was a pair of eyes that had no expression at all.

It's a pair of dead man's eyes......

"Sorry...... I'm late......"

The young man took the boy away, and tried every means to give the boy a glimmer of motivation to live, but this motivation was only a rope that could not be thinner, and it would break at any time.

And the young man has been giving the boy the motivation to live, but he doesn't know if he has succeeded.

Because after that time, the boy seems to have become a normal person, except that there will be a short-term abnormality in the relationship.

Until......

……

"Am I lying? No, I'm lying to myself too......" Xia Yuan shook his head, although his heart was painful, Xia Yuan's face did not have a trace of discomfort.

"I've forgotten, though." Xia Yuan shook his head, "I don't remember what happened at the beginning, I don't remember everything, so ......"

Xia Yuan looked at Qiu Yi, "Don't talk about this anymore, okay?" ”
